The X-Men are a superhero team created in 1963 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby. Stretching over dozens of comic book titles, X-Men has become one of Marvel’s most popular franchises. On one side, Professor Xavier and his school, filled with mutants who try to protect a world that hates and fears them. On the other side? Magneto and his Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, who believe mutants need to destroy humans to survive.
